    There's a cafe up the road that allows local drivers to park their rigs there during home-time. This weekend I saw a truck there I'd not seen before -- a Freightliner COE. Do truck manufacturers still produce cabovers... and does anyone have an idea of what year this one may be?

    Also, the trailer was a Hyundai. Heck, I didn't know they made trailers, too. :biggrin_2556:

    i think that's a freightliner FLA; It's a shame they don't make these anymore. i think they still make the argosy but that's for export only----because, as usual, Europeans are smarter than us.

    Yes, Hyundai makes trailers. Pretty good ones too. Much better quality than their cars.
     
    Ducks Thanks this.

    You can still buy an Argosy here, but only as a glider. The 2010 emissions junk won't fit on them. There's an outfit out of Arkansas that hauls oversize beams that's still buying new ones, or at least they were this summer.

    You must be right about the Europeans being smarter-they probably wouldn't put up with some sorry rascal trash-talking his own country.
     
    Ducks and DL550CAT Thank this.

    Actually I do not like COE trucks, but I have plans to operate not only in Ex USSR but in EU too. I will start with conventional truck, later I wanna get COE truck.
     
    Ducks Thanks this.

    I learned to drive in a cabover, and the first truck I owned was a cabover. I really wish they still made them in the U.S. I know Volvo and Scania make them in Europe, and too bad they don't have them here. Does anyone know if they'll ever be available here again, and if not, why? Cabovers are one of those things that you either love or hate, and I always loved them.
